Microsoft is celebrating a year of AI advances with a sneak peek at Microsoft Copilot features it’s currently testing for its AI platform. Now available on Windows 10 and Windows 11, Copilot will soon tap into OpenAI’s latest model, GPT-4 Turbo, significantly increasing its capabilities.

GPT-4 Turbo brings the OpenAI model’s knowledge base up to April 2023 and significantly increases how much information it can ingest at one time, enabling users to tackle more complex and longer tasks. Microsoft says this model is currently being tested with select users and will be widely integrated into Copilot in the coming weeks so it will be the engine behind the new Microsoft Copilot features.

So what are the new Microsoft Copilot features and why are we drawing a parallel to OpenAI’s GPT-4 Turbo? Let us explain.
